Description
- This patent application is a continuation of PCT/EP2010/058309, filed Jun. 14, 2010, which claims priority to German Application No. 10 2009 030 093.7, filed Jun. 22, 2009, the entire teachings and disclosure of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
- The present invention relates to a method and a device for detecting electrical energy delivered to an electric vehicle.
- So-called “electricity meters” are known for detecting delivered electrical energy quantities or electrical work. Meters of this type for consumption billing in households detect the phase current provided in the electricity network and also the applied voltage. From that they determine the watt energy quantity in the unit kilowatt-hours by means of multiplication and integration over time.
- The most common are so-called “Ferraris meters” which operate in accordance with the principle of induction. Here, a magnetic rotating field is induced in an aluminium disc by the single- or multi-phase current and also the network voltage, which magnetic rotating field creates a torque in this aluminium disc by means of eddy currents. This torque is proportional to the vector product of current and voltage. The aluminium disc runs in an eddy current brake which consists of a permanent magnet, which produces a braking moment which is proportional to the speed. The aluminium disc, the edge of which is visible from the outside through a window as a cutaway, thus has a rotational speed which is proportional to the electrical real power. A drum counter is connected to the aluminium disc so that the energy throughput can be read as a numerical value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- For tariff customers, for example in private households, electromechanical energy meters of this type with two and more counters are used in order to be able to invoice different tariffs in a time-related manner. Switching between these counters is for example carried out by means of built-in or external ripple-control receivers which are controlled by means of central ripple control systems in the energy supply company. So, the energy consumption can be billed at a lower price for the consumer in times of lower network loading, for example at night.
- Digital electronic energy meters (so-called “smart meters”) which do not contain any mechanically moved elements are also known already. The current is detected by current transformers, for example with a soft-magnetic annular core or a current measurement system with Rogowski coils by means of shunt or by means of Hall elements. The calculation of the energy takes place via an electronic circuit. The result is passed to an alphanumeric display, e.g. a liquid crystal display (LCD). Digital electronic energy meters of this type have the particular advantage of remote readability and therefore make the hitherto conventional annual reading unnecessary, as the meter data are transmitted to the electricity supplier electronically, for example via the Internet.
- Various variants can be used as data interfaces, e.g. infra-red, SO interface, M-bus, potential-free contact, EIB/KNX or power line carrier (PLC).
- Energy quantity meters of this type are also used in charging stations for electric vehicles as separately constructed devices in order to detect and read the energy quantity fed into the battery of the vehicle. Furthermore, a charging station has a monitoring device in order to ensure its proper operation and also in order, if appropriate, to introduce appropriate protection measures in the case of an overloading of the charging station. In order to supply the monitoring device with appropriate signals, further sensors for current or power detection are usually provided within the charging station at the appropriate positions. A comparatively higher outlay in terms of measurement technology is particularly required to this end in the case of systems consisting of a plurality of charging stations.
- Starting therefrom, the invention is based on the object of developing a method or a device of the type mentioned at the beginning to the effect that a more cost-effective monitoring of the operational reliability of the charging station is given.
- In the case of a method for determining the delivered energy quantity during the charging of electric vehicles, the object is achieved by means of the following features: connecting the electric vehicle to a charging station for obtaining electrical energy provided on a charging cable, feeding the desired energy quantity into the battery during a desired charging period, detecting of at least one electrical value required for the calculation of the energy quantity by an energy quantity meter, output of the calculated energy quantity, and furthermore output of at least one of the electrical values, required by the meter for the calculation of the energy quantity, to a monitoring device for the operational monitoring of the charging station.
- The object is also achieved by means of a device for determining the delivered electrical energy quantity when charging electric vehicles in a charging station, with the following features: with detection means for detecting the electrical values applied in the charging circuit of an energy supply network, particularly the electric voltage and the electric current, with calculation means for calculating the energy quantity from at least one of the detected electrical values, with first output means for the calculated energy quantity, and with a further output unit for the output of the at least one further electrical value to a monitoring device for the operational monitoring of the charging station.
- The invention stands out in that, in addition to the output of the energy quantity, for example to a display device or a central billing department of an energy supplier, the meter for the electrical energy quantity fed into the battery of the electric vehicle can provide the at least one further electrical value as an input signal for the monitoring device of the charging station. As this electrical value is used anyway for the calculation of the energy quantity and therefore is present in the energy quantity detection device, the outlay in terms of measurement technology for an improvement of the protective concept of the charging station can be reduced considerably, as additional components such as current transformers or measurement electronics can be dispensed with.
- Preferably, it is provided that the output of the at least one electrical value necessary for the calculation of the energy quantity to the monitoring device takes place for operational monitoring of the charging station, wherein the monitoring device more preferably contains a protection device for safeguarding the phase current in the charging station. As a result, the protective concept of the charging station or for a group of charging stations can be simplified further.
- According to further configurations of the invention, it is provided that the at least one electrical value required for the calculation of the energy quantity is the phase current and/or the phase voltage and/or the real power assigned to the respective phase.
- The electrical value (phase current, phase voltage, phase real power) required for the monitoring device is preferably provided via a data interface, wherein this interface is either realised as a separate interface or together with the interface for the output of the calculated energy quantity.
- Finally, a further aspect of the present invention also consists in the use of an energy quantity measurement device which is known per se for monitoring the operational reliability of a charging station for electric vehicles.
- To this end, the device known as the “electricity meter” is merely to be modified to the effect that it provides a desired further electrical output value for the further processing in the monitoring device.

Thecommunication network 18 can also be a wired or wireless communication network. An IP protocol can for example be used for communication. - On the output side, the
meter 16 has not only adisplay device 34 for the calculated energy quantity, but also afurther output unit 35 for the phase current which is detected via thedetector 32. Thefurther output unit 35 can output the measured value of thedetector 32 directly or a further processed signal derived therefrom.

Finally, the output by thefurther output unit 35 of an output signal derived in common from the signals of thedetectors - A
data interface 36 for the measured energy quantity is assigned to thefurther output unit 35 as well as to theoutput unit 34, wherein this data interface can be constructed separately or together (as shown inFIG. 2 ) with the data interface for the energy quantity. - The phase current or another electrical signal is available via the
data interface 36 for further processing. The further processing takes place in a monitoring device which has the purpose of ensuring the operational reliability of the respective charging station.
